Intezer adds native response automation without separate SOAR

Intezer has announced Workflows, a native automation and response builder that enables security teams to create and customize response workflows directly inside the Intezer platform.

Tufin has announced the availability of Tufin Orchestration Suite (TOS) 5.3, helping enterprises further simplify security operations and maintain consistent control across increasingly complex multi-vendor, hybrid environments.
